WWE Figure Would Love To See Brock Lesnar Return
A WWE announcer wants to see Brock Lesnar return.
Shortly before the 2024 Royal Rumble, former WWE employee Janel Grant filed a lawsuit against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE. The lawsuit contained allegations of sexual assault and sex trafficking, and although he wasn’t named directly, Lesnar was also implicated.
It was reported that the “former UFC Champion and WWE Superstar” named in the filing was Lesnar.
The star had been due to return to action at the Royal Rumble for the first time since SummerSlam 2023, but those plans were dropped. Shortly after the event, it was reported that Lesnar had been removed from all creative plans, including a long-rumoured clash with Gunther at WrestleMania.
Despite these Booker T claimed on his Hall of Fame podcast, that he’d love to see Lesnar come back.
“Tell you what man, I don’t know if that’s going to happen. Could I see that happening? Yeah, of course. But the game-changer would be just Brock reappearing back on WWE TV in any way, shape, or form. That’s what I think. That’s the game-changer.
Lot of people I’m sure have thought they may not see Brock Lesnar anymore after this hiatus he’s had because he’s been gone for quite some time, and no one’s said anything, so I’m sure if some words are being dropped [on commentary/in promos] yeah, it might be some plans in the work. But yeah, Brock Lesnar would be a huge game-changer.
But everything right now is going so well, it would just add more fuel to the fire, especially with The Bloodline stuff that’s going on. Is he gonna join in with Roman? There’s so much data to work with, so yeah, I’d love to see Brock Lesnar back in the fold,”
WWE Not Planning Brock Lesnar Return
The comments came after it was reported Brock Lesnar was in talks with WWE about a stunning return to the company. The news quickly divided fans, with many suggesting they didn’t want to see Lesnar back on TV given his links to the Vince McMahon scandal.
However, it seems the reality of the situation is a little different. As reported by Fightful, one source said the company has no plans for Lesnar, and his name hasn’t been discussed backstage for several months.
